* AdaptationalJerkass: Can be discussed, as it is mostly a matter of acting interpretation. Pierre in the play is loud and opinionated, but somewhat ridiculed by his constant {{Angrish}} stammering and tantrum-y attitude, clearly a little afraid of his wife. Pierre in the movie is a lot more soft-spoken and confident in his manner of speech, which makes it seem like he weighs his words a lot more, and therefore thinks what he says. His delivery can even be a little intimidating at times.
